I agree that the 56/1.2 is the obvious partner to the 23/1.4. A lot depends though on what your specific interests are.

Lloyd always manages to find the end of the world with almost anything he writes about. This effect was mentioned on another forum and the example images there, like the one Lloyd posted, are frankly nothing I would ever expect to use to begin with. This problem (which I'm pretty certain is internal reflections) appears to only be seen in circumstances with horrible veiling flare that would itself render the images useless IMHO. 
 
Lloyd hates the X-TRANS sensors anyway and is using this as another reason to pile on. Using diglloyd as proof that a camera/lens is bad strikes me as just about as crazy as using Ken Rockwell as proof that something is wonderful.

If I use the camera continuously for 10-20 minutes (shooting, chimping, playing with menus), the LCD and bottom heats up a bit (warm, not hot). High performance mode seems to hasten this some, but I have not tested it. However, the issues that I have read about where a couple guys sent theirs back for a replacement appeared to have a different problem which mine does not have. They reported that setting the camera to not power off automatically and letting it sit for 10-20 minutes with the LCD on caused the camera to become hot. Under those no-load conditions (other than running the LCD), my XP2 remains at room temperature. I have to be using it to focus, review images and take images for it to eventually get warm. I'm using OEM batteries BTW. 
 
I don't think this is a bug (neither does Fuji from the reports of conversations with them). Mirrorless cameras are much more processor intensive than DSLR's and you can't significantly step up the CPU horsepower without  some increased power dissipation. There is nowhere for the heat to go but the metal chassis via conduction.
